The Magic of Autumn
By Fran Hafey

Do you feel it, that crisp feeling in the air as the autumn winds reach out and lightly touch our senses? There's magic in the air as Mother earth paints beautiful scenes of colors all around us.

Nights are cooler, so I pull out the blankets, hanging them out on the clothesline to freshen them before placing them on each bed.

Pumpkins appear at farmers markets while baskets of apples are sold to merchants wanting to make apple butter and pies.

The last of the hummingbirds come and go to the feeder seemingly saying goodbye for another season. They will return in the spring when it's warmer to bless us with their beauty.

The afternoon sun shines in my south window onto my crystals causing them to shine all around the room making little rainbows and dancing colors.

I wash my favorite sweater, the one that makes me feel so comfortable and warm on the cool afternoons and chilly nights, even if it is old and worn.

Soon there will be frost on the windows and you'll be able to see your breath as you walk through the trees and autumn pathways.

I watch the wind dance with a leaf, twirling and turning it with grace.

Sipping hot chocolate is soo good in the morning while I watch the birds play and the deer slowly leave the garden area where they look for leftover morsels.

I love the feel of autumn magic and I am happy to be reminded of the miracles of life, as I watch the Seasons come and go. I close my eyes and feel the cool air on my face and thank Spirit once again, for sharing the magic of autumn with me once more.
